Assignment 7
This is a mashup assignment. You need to make a site will tell the user,
the real time traffic conditions and the weather. To make things easy for
the user, you should locate the traffic events on google maps. Your site should
automatically update its content to reflect the weather/traffic events as they
unfold. The user queries for information by entering the zip code of the region
she/he is interested in. For extra credit: let the user enter an address.
The following sites tell you how to get these info onto a page.
http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/(This gives a RSS feed.) for Yahoo weather component
http://developer.yahoo.com/traffic/rest/V1/index.html Live traffic updates from Yahoo
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/ About including google maps in your page and how to mark it.
What's described here is a minimum requirement. Feel free to innovate.
Here is
